Danroy Henry Jr., the college student from Easton who was killed by police last fall, was remembered at a memorial service by another college where he spent his freshman year.

More than 100 Iona College students and staff attended the Sunday night Mass for Danroy Henry Jr. The cornerback and business student transferred to Pace University after the New Rochelle college dropped its football program.

Iona students said the Mass gave them a chance to celebrate Henry’s life.

The 20-year-old was killed Oct. 17 when officers fired at his car as he drove away from a bar in the New York City suburb of Thornwood, near the Pace campus.

Police had been called to a disturbance that spilled out of the bar after the Pace homecoming game.
